Aho Great Spirit, Great Mystery,
Giving thanks for the water that feeds the roots of trees,
Giving thanks that the water flows in great abundance so that the tree can grow deep roots in the earth, grow strong, tall and wide in all its creative wonder,
Giving thanks for the sun that feeds the leaves
So the tree can stretch to the sky,
and become Illuminated in all its Beauty,
Giving thanks that through these miracles of creation
the tree can fulfil its purpose!
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin
